WASHINGTON, February 25.-Yester-
day General Bragg objected to all re-
quests to print remarks in extension OF
those actually delivered in the House
on the pauper pension bill. This
morning o number OF the short
speeches are longer than the long
speeches-that is, the Record has been
fanked. O'Hara has inserted in his
remarks n speech 10y Ben. Butler, and
MIR. Sawyer's fve-minute talk is
stretched out longer than the half-hour
speech of Bragg himself. 1t seems
that the sharp-tongued member from
Wisconsin was either ignorant OF thu
facts. or chose TO ignore them, III COZ
sideration of his victory yesterday.
Mr.. Hatch's persistence enabled hin
10 get recognition from the Chair for
his experimentation bill, but
Speaker Carlisle announced that he
would not hereafter during the last six
DAVIS recognize any one to move sus-
pension of the rules while there were
appropriation bills to be disposed of.
NAVAL MATTERS.
In the progress of the naval appro-
priation bill Brady offered an amend-
ment increasing the amount reported
for clerk in the ordinance department
of the Norfolk hayward fromSl, 0O7bo
81, 200. He supported the amendmnt
in a running colloquy with Chairman
Herbert and other members OF the con-
mittee. 1t was adopted. Messrs. Vie
and Brady spoke, the former about SIX
minutes, histime having been extended,
and the latter five minutes. Mr. WDe
opposed Boutelle's motion to strike oit
the paragraph appropriating 81, 1901 900
for dry-docks nt the discretion of the
Secretary. Afterward Mr.. Brady Ct
fered al amendment to the amendment,
naming Brooklyn and Norfolk as the
places where the docks were to be con-
structed. His remarks were addressed
TO this question. Brady's amendment
was lost. Messrs. Brady. Croxton,
Daniel, and Wise voted for the latter
amendment.
